New York, NY: Orion Books, Date: 1988. First edition. First edition [stated]. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good/very good. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. xviii, 270 p. Illustrations. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. Introduction by VAdm James Stockdale, USN (Ret). John Thomas "Tommy" Blackburn (1913 March 21, 1994) was a World War II flying ace, and first commanding officer of the famed F4U Corsair squadron VF-17 Jolly Rogers. Blackburn stood up VF-17 on January 1, 1943 at NAS Norfolk. It was the second Navy fighter squadron to receive the F4U-1 Corsair, the first to fly them in combat. Blackburn wanted to motivate his pilots with a squadron insignia which would live up to the Corsair name and chose the skull and crossbones and the name "The Jolly Rogers". In its two tours of duty in the Solomon Islands, VF-17 had 152 aerial victories and produced 11 aces. Blackburn ranked third with 11 victories behind Hedrick with 12 and Ira Kepford who led the squadron with 17. His pilots credited the skipper for its success; he taught them much and was successful in getting equipment and supplies they needed. Derived from a Kirkus review: Following a frustrating tour of duty in a training command after Pearl Harbor, Blackburn was ordered to form a new naval fighter squadron, VF-17. Flying gull-winged F4U Corsairs from an island base in the Solomons, VF-17 downed over 150 Japanese aircraft during the 76 days it was in action during the 1943-44 ...
